Description
by Greville MacDonald (Author), G. K. Chesterton (Introduction by), David Jack (Preface by)
"All that I know of George MacDonald I have learned either from his own books or from the biography George MacDonald and His Wife"-C. S. Lewis
The definitive biography of George MacDonald, compiled by his son Greville, gives us rare and precious access to his boyhood and youth in the North of Scotland, his greatest human influence in the person of his revered father, and the bond he shared with his brothers, of whom little would be otherwise known. Most of all it bears witness to the enduring love between MacDonald and his wife Louisa--the joys and sorrows they faced together, the early years of spiritual struggle and literary failure, and the heartbreaking losses which only a faith that looked beyond the horizon of this world could encounter and overcome. Friendships and correspondences (including those with Lady Byron, Lewis Carroll and Mark Twain) are also brought to light in what G. K. Chesterton called an "intensely interesting memoir"--as well as the history behind, and public and critical reception of, the author's classic novels, sermons, and poems.
This new edition of George MacDonald and His Wife is produced by The Room to Roam, the only website to offer unabridged translations of MacDonald's Scottish novels (several of which are indispensable for a full understanding of Greville's biography.)
